Conjuro Nuclear/Bosque de Craneros/2013 EP Review

Conjuro Nuclear are a band from Spain that plays black metal with elements of crust and dark ambient and this is a review of their self released 2013 ep "Bosque de Craneros".

The ep starts out with dark synth pop sounds which also bring in elements of ambient and after a minute raw black metal guitar riffs make their way into the music along with melodic leads and on the second song crust influences and grim screams make their way into the ep as well as the music getting more up beat.

As the ep progresses it has an old school black metal sound but with elements of crust and you can hear atmospheric sounds in the background and the music is also not afraid to experiment and they also bring a different sound to every song and at times you can also hear psychedelic sounds being added in.

On this ep Conjuro Nuclear show a great amount of diversity at times when they are in a softer mode they have a new wave/synth pop meets ambient feeling while the heavier parts combine old school black metal and crust.

Song lyrics are written in Spanish and cover dark themes, while the production has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Conjuro Nuclear are a very great sounding mixture of black metal, crust and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "II" and "III". 8 out of 10.
